Overview
A dedicated GeForce RTX graphics chip does the heavy lifting in this ASUS TUF Gaming laptop, with an AMD Ryzen processor feeding it frames for a fast refresh IPS screen. Two way AI noise cancelation cleans up voice chat, and the keyboard carries single zone RGB backlighting.
Choose this TUF laptop for gaming graphics, a business ready Windows Pro install and a port list that covers fast USB-C, HDMI and wired Ethernet. The graphics chip has a modest video memory pool, so the newest games will need lower settings.
Who it's for
Players of esports titles and students who game after class get a fast screen and a full set of ports. Video editors and heavy multitaskers should look for more memory headroom than the listing allows.
Pros and cons

- Fast refresh anti-glare screen
- High speed USB-C and HDMI outputs
- Wired Ethernet port
- Memory capped at the installed amount

Performance notes
Frame rates depend on the RTX chip and its dedicated video memory, which sets how high texture settings can go. The Ryzen processor handles game logic and background apps across its cores. The fast refresh panel only shows its benefit when the graphics chip can hold frame rates high.
